I had a tarantula more than ten years ago. I kept him in a 10 gallon aquarium with rodent bedding (He liked to burrow under it). I kept a moist sponge in there and he would bite and suck on it for water. He was a bit of a pig, I fed him six crickets a day and he killed and ate all of them in under ten minutes. I thought he may be underfed but when I added more crickets he started letting them live for six-twelve hours at a time. I would let him crawl around on me sometimes, he was a beast to anyone else and tried to bite them. I don't know about special care because he never seemed to need any. He was small for a tarantula but healthy. He lived for several years with me until passing away in his sleep one random day.
